Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) – Raoh Portrait with Helmet – Original Production Cel (Toei Animation, 1987)

Raoh Portrait with Helmet – Original Fist of the North Star Production Cel

A striking original hand-painted production cel of Raoh, the Ken-Oh (拳王), from Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken). The composition is an exceptional close portrait, dominated by Raoh’s iconic golden horned helmet and stern expression.

The cel is especially strong as a display piece: the face is large in frame, the yellow and gold armor creates a vivid graphic silhouette, and the close framing gives the image the monumental presence associated with Raoh.

This item includes:

• Original hand-painted animation cel
• No douga
• No background
• Original Toei Animation production artwork

Fist of the North Star was created by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara, with the television anime produced by Toei Animation. Character designer Masami Suda’s powerful angular drawing style became one of the defining visual signatures of the series.

A particularly strong Raoh portrait for collectors of original 1980s Japanese animation art.
